Cleaning
steel wire rods or other similar raw materials by chemical pickling,
mechanical de-scaling or a similar process. The materials are
then cold drawn and reduced until the desired diameter and resistance
characteristics are achieved. This process is what provides the material
with its strength.
|
|
·
|
In
the production of strands, the individual wires (either 3 or 7 wires) are
braided together to form a strand.
|
|
·
|
The
final step is to subject the steel material to a thermo-chemical process
which endows the material with mechanical properties, such as low
relaxation, which enable the material to last over
time.
|
|
·
|
Two
surface treatment production lines, one located in our Maanshan facility
and one in our Jiujiang facility, each composed of an acid pickling bath,

Company may by resolution of directors determine. The directors shall not
issue more shares than the maximum number provided for in the
Memorandum.
|
12.
|
The
Company may issue fully paid, partly paid or nil paid shares as well as
bonus shares. A partly paid or nil paid share or a share issued
for a promissory note or other written obligation for payment of a debt
may be issued subject to forfeiture in the manner prescribed in these
Articles.
|
13.
|
Shares
in the Company may be issued for consideration in any form, including
money, a promissory note or other obligation to contribute money or
property, real property, personal property (including goodwill and
know-how) services rendered or a contract for future
services and the amount of such consideration shall be
determined by resolution of directors, except that in the case of shares
with par value, the amount shall not be less than the par value, and in
the absence of fraud the decision of the directors as to the value of the
consideration received by the Company in respect of the issue is
conclusive unless a question of law is
involved.
|

shares;

|
(b)

determination of the reasonable present cash value of the non-money

for the issue is not less than the amount to be credited for the issue of
the shares.
|
15.
|
A
share issued by the Company upon conversion of, or in exchange for,
another share or a debt obligation or other security in the Company, shall
be treated for all purposes as having been issued for money equal to the

respect of the other share, debt obligation or
security.
|
16.
|
Treasury
shares may be disposed of by the Company on such terms and conditions (not
otherwise inconsistent with these Articles) as the Company may by
resolution of directors determine.
|
17.
|
Subject
to these Articles, the Company may purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire
and hold its own shares save that the Company may not purchase, redeem or
otherwise acquire its own shares without the consent of the member whose
shares are to be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired unless the
Company is permitted by the Act or any other provision in the Memorandum
or Articles to purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire the shares without
their consent.
|
18.
|
No
purchase, redemption or other acquisition of shares shall be made unless
the directors determine by resolution of the directors that immediately
after the purchase, redemption or other acquisition the value of
the Company’s assets will exceed its liabilities and the
Company will be able to pay its debts as they fall
due.
|
19.
|
Sections
60 (Process for acquisition of own shares), 61 (Offer to one or more
shareholders) and 62 (Shares redeemed otherwise than at the option of
company) of the Act shall not apply to the
Company.

determination by the directors under Article 18 is not

Company redeems a share or shares pursuant
to a right of a member to have
his shares redeemed or to have his shares exchanged for money or other
property of the Company; or
|
|
(b)
|
by
virtue of the provisions of Section 179 of the
Act.
|
21.
|
Shares
that the Company purchases, redeems or otherwise acquires pursuant to

extent that such shares are in excess of 80 percent of the issued shares
of the Company in which case they shall be cancelled but they shall be
available for reissue.
|
22.
|
Shares
in the Company shall only be held as treasury shares where the directors
of the Company resolve as such and the number of shares acquired, when
aggregated with shares of the same class already held by the Company as
treasury shares, does not exceed 50% of the shares of that class
previously issued by the Company, excluding shares that have been
cancelled. All rights and obligations attaching to a treasury share are
suspended and shall not be exercised by or against the Company while it
holds the share as a treasury share. Treasury shares may be reissued by
the Company as new shares.
|
23.
|
The
Company shall keep a register of members
containing;
|
|

26.
|

register of members.
|
27.
|
Subject
to the Act and the rules of the Designated Stock Exchange, the board of
directors without further consultation with the holders of any shares or
Securities may resolve that any class or series of shares or other
Securities from time to time in issue or to be issued (including shares in
issue at the date of the adoption of these Articles) may be issued, held,
registered and converted to uncertificated
form.
|
28.
|
Conversion
of shares held in certificated form into shares held in uncertificated
form, and vice versa, may be made in such manner as the board of
directors, in its absolute discretion, may think fit. The
Company or any duly authorised transfer agent (a “
Transfer Agent
”) shall
enter on the register of members how many shares are held by each member
in uncertificated form and in certificated form and shall maintain the
register of members. Notwithstanding any provision of these Articles, a

only of that class or series comprising both certificated shares and
uncertificated Shares or as a result of any provision of these Articles
which apply only in respect of certificated or uncertificated
shares.
|
29.
|

|
|
(a)
|
with
the written consent of the named mortgagee or chargee or anyone authorized
to act on his behalf; or
|
|
(b)
|
upon
evidence satisfactory to the directors of the discharge of the liability
secured by the mortgage or charge and the issue of such indemnities as the
directors shall consider necessary or
desirable.
|
32.
|

particulars of a mortgage or charge over registered shares are entered in
the register of members pursuant to the preceding articles no transfer of
any share comprised therein shall be effected without the written consent
of the named mortgagee or chargee or anyone authorized to act on his
behalf.
|

not been complied with within the prescribed time, the directors may at
any time before tender of payment forfeit and cancel the shares to which

The
Company is under no obligation to refund any moneys to the member whose
shares have been forfeited and cancelled pursuant to these
provisions. Upon forfeiture and cancellation of the shares the
member is discharged from any further obligation to the Company with
respect to the shares forfeited and
cancelled.
|
38.
|
The
Company shall have a first and paramount lien on every share issued for a
promissory note or for any other binding obligation to contribute money or
property or any combination thereof to the Company, and the Company shall
also have a first and paramount lien on every share standing registered in
the name of a member, whether singly or jointly with any other person or
persons, for all the debts and liabilities of such member or his estate to
the Company, whether the same shall have been incurred before or after
notice to the Company of any interest of any person other than such
member, and whether the time for the payment or discharge of the same
shall have actually arrived or not, and
notwithstanding that the same are joint
debts or liabilities of such member or his estate and any other person,
whether a member of the Company or not. The Company’s lien on a
share shall extend to all distributions payable thereon. The
directors may at any time either generally, or in any particular case,
waive any lien that has arisen or declare any share to be wholly or in
part exempt from the provisions of this
Article.
|
39.
|
In
the absence of express provisions regarding sale in the promissory note or
other binding obligation to contribute money or property, the Company may
sell, in such manner as the directors may by resolution of directors
determine, any share on which the Company has a lien, but no
sale shall be made unless some sum in respect of which the lien exists is
presently payable nor until the expiration of twenty-one days after a
notice in writing, stating and demanding payment of the sum presently
payable and giving notice of the intention to sell in default of such
payment, has been served on the holder for the time being of the
share.
|
40.
|
The
net proceeds of the sale by the Company of any shares on which it has a
lien shall be applied in or towards payment of discharge of the promissory
note or other binding obligation to contribute money or property or any
combination thereof in respect of which the lien exists so far as the same
is presently payable and any residue shall (subject to a like lien for
debts or liabilities not presently payable as existed upon the share prior
to the sale) be paid to the holder of the share immediately before such
sale. For giving effect to any such sale the directors may
authorize some person to transfer the share sold to the purchaser
thereof. The purchaser shall be registered as the holder of the
share and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase
money, nor shall his title to the share be affected by any irregularity or
invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the
sale.
|
41.
|
Registered
shares in the Company are transferred by a written instrument of transfer
signed by the transferor and containing the name and address of the
transferee. The instrument of transfer shall be signed by the transferee
if registration as a holder of the share shall impose a liability to the
Company on the transferee. The instrument of transfer of a registered
share shall be sent to the Company for
registration.
|
42.
|
The
board of directors may resolve that interests in shares in the form of
depositary receipts may be transferred or otherwise dealt with in
accordance with the regulations and practices instituted by the operator
of the Relevant System and any holder of interests in shares
shall be entitled to transfer such interests by means of such Relevant
System and the operator of the Relevant System shall act as agent of the
holders of such interests for the purposes of the transfer of those
interests.
|
43.
|
The
register of members may be closed at such times and for such periods as
the board of directors may from time to time determine, upon notice being
given by advertisement in such newspapers as may be required by the Act
and the practice of the Designated Stock
Exchange.
|
44.
|
The
transfer of a registered share is effective when the name of the
transferee is entered on the register of
members.
|
45.
|
If
the directors of the Company are satisfied that an instrument of transfer
relating to shares has been signed but that the instrument has been lost
or destroyed, they may resolve;
|
|
(a)
|
to
accept such evidence of the transfer of the shares as they consider
appropriate; and
|
|
(b)
|
that
the transferee’s name should be entered in the register of members
notwithstanding the absence of the instrument of
transfer.
|
46.
|
The
Company must on the receipt of an instrument of transfer from the
transferor or transferee of a registered share in the Company enter the
name of the transferee of the share in the register or members unless the
directors, if permitted by the Memorandum or these Articles, resolve by
resolution of directors to refuse or delay the registration of the
transfer for reasons that shall be specified in the resolution of
directors.
|
47.
|
The
personal representative of a deceased member may transfer a share even
though the personal representative is not a member at the time of the
transfer.
|
48.
|
The
personal representative, executor or administrator of a deceased member,
the guardian of an incompetent member or the trustee of a bankrupt member
shall be the only person recognized by the Company as having any title to
his share but they shall not be entitled to exercise any rights as a
member of the Company until they have proceeded as set forth in the next
following three Articles.
|
49.
|
The
production to the Company of any document which is evidence of probate of
the will, or letters of administration of the estate, or confirmation as
executor, of a deceased member or of the appointment of a guardian of an
incompetent member or the trustee of a bankrupt member shall be accepted
by the Company even if the deceased, incompetent or
bankrupt member is domiciled outside
the British Virgin Islands if the document
evidencing the grant of probate or letters of administration, confirmation
as executor, appointment as guardian or trustee in bankruptcy is issued by
a foreign court which had competent jurisdiction in the
matter. For the purpose of establishing whether or not a
foreign court had competent jurisdiction in such a matter the directors
may obtain appropriate legal advice. The directors may also
require an indemnity to be given by the executor, administrator, guardian
or trustee in bankruptcy.
|
50.
|
The
Company may enter in the register of members the name of any person
becoming entitled by operation of law or otherwise to a share or shares in
consequence of the death, incompetence or bankruptcy upon such evidence
being produced as may reasonably be required by the
directors.
|
51.
|
Any
person who has become entitled to a share or shares in consequence of the
death, incompetence or bankruptcy of any member may, instead of being
registered himself, request in writing that some person to be named by him
be registered as the transferee of such share or shares and such request
shall likewise be treated as if it were a
transfer.
|
52.
|
What
amounts to incompetence on the part of a person is a matter to be
determined by the court having regard to all the relevant evidence and the
circumstances of the case.
|
53.
|
The
Company may amend the Memorandum to increase or reduce the maximum number
of shares the Company is authorised to issue and may in respect of any
unissued shares increase or reduce the number of such shares, or effect
any combination of the foregoing.
|
54.
|
The
Company may
|
|
(2)
|
A
division or combination of shares, including issued shares, of a class or
series shall be for a larger or smaller number, as the case may be, of
shares in the same class or series.
|
|
(3)
|
A
company shall not divide its shares under subsection (1)(a) or (2) if it
would cause the maximum number of shares that the Company is authorised to
issue by its memorandum to be
exceeded.
|
|
(4)
|
Where
shares are divided or combined under this article, the aggregate par value
of the new shares must be equal to the aggregate par value of the original
shares.
|
55.
|
The
directors of the Company may convene meetings of the members of the
Company at such times and in such manner and places within or outside the
British Virgin Islands as the directors consider necessary or desirable.
The Company may hold an annual general meeting, but shall not (unless
required by the applicable rules of the Designated Stock Exchange for so
long as the Company’s Securities are listed or traded on the Designated
Stock Exchange) be obliged to hold an annual general
meeting.
|
56.
|
Upon
the written request of members holding 30 percent or more of the
outstanding voting shares in the Company the directors shall convene a
meeting of members.
|
57.
|
The
directors shall give not less than 7 days notice of meetings of members to
those persons whose names on the date the notice is given appear as
members in the share register of the Company and are entitled to vote at
the meeting.
|
58.
|
The
directors may fix the date notice is given of a meeting of members as the
record date for determining those shares that are entitled to vote at the
meeting.
|
59.
|
A
meeting of members may be called on short
notice:
|
|
(a)
|
if
members holding not less than 90 percent of the total number of shares
entitled to vote on all matters to be considered at the meeting, or 90
percent of the votes of each class or series of shares where members are
entitled to vote thereon as a class or series together with not less than
a 90 percent majority of the remaining votes, have agreed to short notice
of the meeting, or
|
|
(b)
|
if
all members holding shares entitled to vote on all or any matters to be
considered at the meeting have waived notice of the meeting and for this
purpose presence at the meeting shall be deemed to constitute
waiver.
|
60.
|
The
inadvertent failure of the directors to give notice of a meeting to a
member, or the fact that a member has not received notice, does not
invalidate the meeting.
|
61.
|
A
member may be represented at a meeting of members by a proxy who may speak
and vote on behalf of the member.
|
62.
|
The
instrument appointing a proxy shall be produced at the place appointed for
the meeting before the time for holding the meeting at which the person
named in such instrument proposes to
vote.
|
63.
|
An
instrument appointing a proxy shall be in substantially the following form
or such other form as the Chairman of the meeting shall accept as properly
evidencing the wishes of the member appointing the
proxy.

two or more persons hold shares jointly each of them may be present in
person or by proxy at a meeting of members and may speak as a
member;
|
|
(b)
|
if
only one of the joint owners is present in person or by proxy he may vote
on behalf of all joint owners, and
|
|
(c)
|
if
two or more of the joint owners are present in person or by proxy they
must vote as one.
|
65.
|
A
member shall be deemed to be present at a meeting of members if he
participates by telephone or other electronic means and all members
participating in the meeting are able to hear each
other.
|
66.
|
A
meeting of members is duly constituted if, at the commencement of the
meeting, there are present in person or by proxy not less than 50 percent
of the votes of the shares or class or series of shares entitled to vote
on resolutions of members to be considered at the meeting. If a
quorum be present, notwithstanding the fact that such quorum may be
represented by only one person then such person may resolve any matter and
a certificate signed by such person accompanied where such person be a
proxy by a copy of the proxy form shall constitute a valid resolution of
members.
|
67.
|
If
within two hours from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not
present, the meeting, if convened upon the requisition of members, shall
be dissolved; in any other case it shall stand adjourned to the next
business day at the same time and place or to such other time and place as
the directors may determine, and if at the adjourned meeting there are
present within one hour from the time appointed for the meeting in person
or by proxy not less than one third of the votes of the shares

preside as chairman of the meeting. If there is no Chairman of
the Board of Directors or if the Chairman of the Board of Directors is not
present at the meeting, the members present shall choose some one of their
number to be the chairman. If the members are unable to choose
a chairman for any reason, then the person representing the greatest
number of voting shares present in person or by prescribed form of proxy
at the meeting shall preside as chairman failing which the oldest
individual member or representative of a member present shall take the
chair.
|
69.
|
The
chairman may, with the consent of the meeting, adjourn any meeting from
time to time, and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted
at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the
meeting from which the adjournment took
place.
|
70.
|
At
any meeting of the members the chairman shall be responsible for deciding
in such manner as he shall consider appropriate whether any resolution has

the meeting and recorded in the minutes thereof. If the
chairman shall have any doubt as to the outcome of any resolution put to
the vote, he shall cause a poll to be taken of all votes cast upon such
resolution, but if the chairman shall fail to take a poll then any member
present in person or by proxy who disputes the announcement by the
chairman of the result of any vote may immediately following such
announcement demand that a poll be taken and the chairman shall thereupon
cause a poll to be taken. If a poll is taken at any meeting,
the result thereof shall be duly recorded in the minutes of that meeting
by the chairman.
|
71.
|
Any
person other than an individual shall be regarded as one member and
subject to the specific provisions hereinafter contained for the
appointment of representatives of such persons the right of any individual
to speak for or represent such member shall be determined by the law of
the jurisdiction where, and by the documents by which, the person is
constituted or derives its existence. In case of doubt, the
directors may in good faith seek legal advice from any qualified person
and unless and until a court of competent jurisdiction shall otherwise
rule, the directors may rely and act upon such advice without incurring
any liability to any member.
|
72.
|
Any
person other than an individual which is a member of the Company may by
resolution of its directors or other governing body authorize such person
as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the
Company or of any class of members of the Company, and the person so
authorized shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the
person which he represents as that person could exercise if it were an
individual member of the Company.
|
73.
|
The
chairman of any meeting at which a vote is cast by proxy or on behalf of
any person other than an individual may call for a notarially certified

person shall be disregarded.

|
An
action that may be taken by the members at a meeting may also be taken by
a resolution of members consented to in writing or by telex, telegram,
cable, facsimile or other written electronic communication, without the
need for any notice, but if any resolution of members is adopted otherwise
than by the unanimous written consent of all members, a copy of such
resolution shall forthwith be sent to all members not consenting to such
resolution. The consent may be in the form of counterparts,
each counterpart being signed by one or more
members.
|
76.
|
The
first directors of the Company shall be appointed by the first registered

include such number of Independent Directors as applicable law, rules or
regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange may require for a foreign
private issuer as long as the Company is a foreign private
issuer.
|
78.
|
Each
director shall hold office for the term, if any, fixed by resolution of
members or until his earlier death, resignation or
removal.
|
79.
|
Where
the Company has only one member who is an individual and that member is
also the sole director of the Company, that sole member/director may, by
instrument in writing, nominate a person who is not disqualified from

purposes of this Regulation, the resolution of members will require the
affirmative vote of the holders of 66
2

thereon.
|
82.
|
A
director may resign his office by giving written notice of his resignation

Act.

company must be able to produce legible evidence of its
contents.
|
87.
|
With
the prior or subsequent approval by a resolution of members, the directors
may, by a resolution of directors, fix the emoluments of directors with
respect to services to be rendered in any capacity to the

may pay all expenses incurred preliminary to and in connection with the
formation and registration of the Company and may exercise all such powers
of the Company as are not by the Act or by the Memorandum or these
Articles required to be exercised by the members of the Company, subject
to any delegation of such powers as may be authorized by these Articles
and to such requirements as may be prescribed by a resolution of members;
but no requirement made by a resolution of members shall prevail if it be
inconsistent with these Articles nor shall such requirement invalidate any
prior act of the directors which would have been valid if such requirement
had not been made. Notwithstanding anything in Section 175 of the Act the
directors shall have the power to sell, transfer, lease, exchange or
otherwise dispose of more than fifty percent of the assets of the Company
without submitting a proposal to or obtaining the consent of the members
of the Company.
|
90.
|
If

directors, but a meeting of directors held without 3 days notice having
been given to all directors shall be valid if all the directors entitled

not by the Act or the Memorandum or these Articles required to be
exercised by the members of the Company and in lieu of minutes of a

|
122.

|
Subject
to the limitations hereinafter provided the Company may indemnify against
all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with
legal, administrative or investigative proceedings
any person who;
|
|
(a)
|
is
or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a
director, an officer or a liquidator of the Company;
or
|
|
(b)
|
is
or was, at the request of the Company, serving as a director of, or in any
other capacity is or was acting for, another body corporate or a
partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise.
|
126.
|
The
Company may only indemnify a person if the person acted honestly and in
good faith in what he believed to be in the best interests of the Company
and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable
cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful.
|
127.
|
For
the purposes of the preceding Article, a director acts in the best
interests of the Company if he acts in the best interests
of;
|
|
(a)
|
the
Company’s holding company; or
|
|
(b)
|
a
shareholder or shareholders of the
Company;
|
128.
|
The
decision of the directors as to whether the person acted honestly and in
good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Company and as to
whether the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful is, in the absence of fraud, sufficient for the purposes of these
Articles, unless a question of law is
involved.
|
129.
|
The
termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,
conviction or the entering of a nolle prosequi does not, by itself, create
a presumption that the person did not act honestly and in good faith and
with a view to the best interests of the Company or that the person had
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful.
|
130.
|
Expenses,
including legal fees, incurred by a director in defending any legal,
administrative or investigative proceedings may be paid by the Company in
advance of the final disposition of such proceedings upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of the director to repay the amount if it
shall ultimately be determined that the director is not entitled to be
indemnified by the Company in accordance with these
Articles.
|
131.
|
Expenses,
including legal fees, incurred by a former director in defending any
legal, administrative or investigative proceedings may be paid by the
Company in advance of the final disposition of such proceedings upon
receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the former director to repay
the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the director is not
entitled to be indemnified by the Company in accordance with these
Articles.
|
132.
|
The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted
pursuant to, these Articles is not exclusive of any other rights to which
the person seeking indemnification of advancement of expenses may be
entitled under any agreement, resolution of members, resolution of
disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to acting in the person’s
official capacity and as to acting in another capacity while serving as a
director of the Company.
|
133.
|
If
a person to be indemnified has been successful in defence of any
proceedings referred to above the person is entitled to be indemnified
against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred by the person
in connection with the proceedings.
|
134.
|
The
Company may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any person who
is or was a director, an officer or a liquidator of the Company, or who at
the request of the Company is or was serving as a director, an officer or
a liquidator of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another
body corporate or a partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted
against the person and incurred by the person in that capacity, whether or
not the Company has or would have had the power to indemnify the person
against the liability as provided in these
Articles.
|
135.
|
The
Company shall have a Seal and may have more than one Seal. References
herein to the Seal shall be references to every Seal which shall have been
duly adopted by resolution of directors. The directors shall
provide for the safe custody of the Seal and for an imprint thereof to be
kept at the office of the registered agent of the
Company. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the
Seal when affixed to any written instrument, shall be witnessed and
attested to by the signature of a director or any other person so
authorized from time to time by resolution of directors. Such
authorization may be before or after the Seal is affixed, may be general
or specific and may refer to any number of sealings. The Directors may
provide for a facsimile of the Seal and of the signature of any director
or authorized person which may be reproduced by printing or other means on
any instrument and it shall have the same force and validity as if the
Seal had been affixed to such instrument and the same had been signed as
hereinbefore described.
|
136.
|
The
directors of the Company may by resolution authorise a
distribution by the Company at any time and of any amount and to any
members they think fit if they are satisfied on reasonable grounds that
immediately after the distribution;
|
|
(a)
|
the
value of the Company’s assets will exceed its liabilities,
and
|
|
(b)
|
the
Company will be able to pay its debts as they fall
due.
|
137.
|
A
resolution of the directors passed under the preceding Article shall
contain a statement that, in the opinion of the directors, immediately
after the distribution the value of the Company’s assets will exceed its
liabilities, and the Company will be able to pay its debts as they fall
due.
|
138.
|
If,
after a distribution is authorised and before it is made, the directors
cease to be satisfied on reasonable grounds that the Company will,
immediately after the distribution satisfy the solvency test, any
distribution made by the Company is deemed not to have been
authorised.
|
139.
|
If,
by virtue of the preceding Article, a distribution is deemed not to have
been authorised, a director who;
|
|
(a)
|
ceased,
after authorisation but before the making of the distribution, to be
satisfied on reasonable grounds for believing that the company would
satisfy the solvency test immediately after the distribution is made;
and
|
|
(b)
|
failed
to take reasonable steps to prevent the distribution being
made;
|
140.
|
A
distribution made to a member at a time when the company did not,
immediately after the distribution, satisfy the solvency test may be
recovered by the company from the member
unless;
|
|
(a)
|
the
member received the distribution in good faith and without knowledge of
the company’s failure to satisfy the solvency
test;
|
|
(b)
|
the
member has altered his position in reliance on the validity of the
distribution; and
|
|
(c)
|
it
would be unfair to require repayment in full or at
all.
|
141.
|
The
Company may by a resolution of directors declare a distribution by way of
dividend and pay such distribution in money, shares or other
property. In the event that distributions by way of dividend
are paid in specie the directors shall have responsibility for
establishing and recording in the resolution of directors authorizing the
distribution by way of dividend, a fair and proper value for the assets to
be so distributed.
|
142.
|
The
directors may from time to time pay to the members such interim
distributions by way of dividend as appear to the directors to be
justified by the profits of the
Company.
|
143.
|
The
directors may, before declaring any distribution by way of dividend, set
aside out of the profits of the Company such sum as they think proper as a
reserve fund, and may invest the sum so set aside as a reserve fund upon
such securities as they may select.
|
144.
|
Notice
of any distribution by way of dividend that may have been declared shall
be given to each member in the manner hereinafter mentioned and all
distributions by way of dividend unclaimed for 3 years after having been
declared may be forfeited by resolution of directors for the benefit of
the Company.
|
145.
|
No
distribution by way of dividend shall bear interest as against the Company
and no distribution by way of dividend shall be paid on treasury shares or
shares held by another company of which the Company holds, directly or
indirectly, shares having more than 50 percent of the vote in electing
directors.
|
146.
|
A
share issued as a distribution by way of dividend by the Company shall be
treated for all purposes as having been issued for money equal to the
value determined by resolution of the directors. In the absence
of fraud the decision of the directors as to the value of the share is
conclusive unless a question of law is
involved.
|
147.
|
A
division of the issued and outstanding shares of a class or series of
shares into a larger number of shares of the same class or series having a
proportionately smaller par value does not constitute a distribution by
way of dividend of shares.
|
148.
|
The
Company may by resolution of members call for the directors to prepare
periodically a profit and loss account and a balance sheet. The
profit and loss account and balance sheet shall be drawn up so as to give

for the financial period and a true and fair view of the state of affairs
of the Company as at the end of the financial
period.
|
149.

appointed by the Audit Committee and shall hold office until the Audit
Committee appoint another independent
auditor.
|
151.

to the rules of the Designated Stock Exchange, the remuneration of the
auditors of the Company shall be fixed by the Audit
Committee.
|
152.
|

meeting of the members of the Company and shall state in a written report
whether or not

(a)
|
in
their opinion the profit and loss account and balance sheet give a true
and fair view respectively of the profit and loss for the period covered
by the accounts, and of the state of affairs of the Company at the end of
that period; and
|
|
(b)
|
all
the information and explanations required by the auditors have been
obtained.
|
153.
|
The
report of the auditors shall be annexed to the accounts and shall be read
at the meeting of members at which the accounts are laid before the
Company or shall be served on the
members.
|
154.
|
Every

books of account and vouchers of the Company, and shall be entitled to

and explanations as he thinks necessary for the performance of the duties
of the auditors.
|
155.
|
The
auditors of the Company shall be entitled to receive notice of, and to
attend any meetings of members of the Company at which the Company’s
profit and loss account and balance sheet are to be

members may be served in any way by which it can reasonably be expected to
reach each member or by mail addressed to each member at the address shown
in the share register.
|
157.
|
Any
summons, notice, order, document, process, information or written
statement to be served on the Company may be served by leaving it, or by
sending it by registered mail addressed to the Company, at its registered
office, or by leaving it with, or by sending it by registered mail to, the
registered agent of the Company.
|
158.
|
Service
of any summons, notice, order, document, process, information or written
statement to be served on the Company may be proved by showing that the
summons, notice, order, document, process, information or written
statement was delivered to the registered office or the registered agent
of the Company or that it was mailed in such time as to admit to its being
delivered to the registered office or the registered agent of the Company
in the normal course of delivery within the period prescribed for service
and was correctly addressed and the postage was
prepaid.
|
159.
|
The
directors may establish and maintain or procure the establishment and
maintenance of any non-contributory or contributory pension or
superannuation funds for the benefit of, and give or procure the giving of

160.

161.

Company may by resolution of members or by a resolution passed unanimously
by all directors of the Company continue as a company incorporated under
the laws of a jurisdiction outside the British Virgin Islands in the
manner provided under those laws.
|
162.
|
Whenever
any difference arises between the Company on the one hand and any of the
members or their executors, administrators or assigns on the other hand,
touching the true intent and construction or the incidence or consequences
of these Articles or of the Act, touching anything done or executed,
omitted or suffered in pursuance of the Act or touching any breach or
alleged breach or otherwise relating to the premises or to these Articles,

same, such other party may appoint an arbitrator to act in the place of
the arbitrator of the defaulting
party.
